Tim Pursell home \| projects \| blog 222 posts in 319 days 130 days ago	Topic tags/keywords: question joining finishing On one of the boat building sites the powder they mixed with epoxy was also listed as compatible with shelac. Will any alcohol soluable dye work to color epoxy? I’ve got a lot of analine dyes & hate to waste $’s on more colorants if what I have will work. Any ideas??

Used some mahogany stain the other day. I use portable belt sander dust as filler and some stain that I think will match. I think your dyes would work fine just be sure to stir your catalyst in well before adding anything to it. When I have a question about epoxy I call my brother who’s lumber jock name is Rico. -- bobdurnell, Santa Ana California.

It just takes a very small bit to color epoxy. http://www.defusco.com/Glues:-Epoxy,-Polyester,-etc.-Coloring-Kits/c82_504/index.html?osCsid=q4ckfr63atdq3j4cuqt84nu934 -- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.
